Time out with HORSES . enriched MOMENTS . ENJOYING together
8th May to 31st July 2026 - Piesendorf
A special time-out centred around horses, bringing together joy, calm and playful learning. During this experience, children - and adults too - discover just how beneficial contact with ponies can be. In a safe, relaxed setting, it's all about sharing moments, feeling at ease and exploring something new together. At the same time, time spent with the animals offers a chance to recharge, rebuild energy and find inner balance.
"Auszeit PFERD" shows that encounters with horses are about so much more than just riding. It is a conscious pause, a moment to feel, to breathe and to truly arrive in the here and now. An experience with a lasting effect - and one that will stay in your memory for a long time.
